Most recent flood kills another 140 with more rain coming | |

Floods are likely a very common occurrence in the area. Quoting: Green Tabber The overcrowding of India may not be as bad as Bangladesh, but it is bad. People live in areas that they should not even think of living of living on. The worst flooding in 40 years? As they have twice as many people as back then, this really does not look too bad. Too bad for those stuck there, for sure. It is not easy getting a 7-11. FFS, not sure why you would want to discount this story that is like so many others happening right now. IT'S A FUCKING TREND WORLDWIDE! The entire world is seeing these kinds of relentless storms. S. Korea just got blasted with 5 inches of rain in an hour and 10 in a day. The images from there are horrendous. As mentioned above Missouri was hit with 14 inches of rain. Wherever you look, there are record setting storms day after day not too far away. Briefly consider this.... - These days, with technology, news can spread globally within seconds of occurrence. Anyone with a phone, tv, computer, radio, etc can see/hear/read said news. Compare that to just 30 years ago or 60 years. - In a similar light, look at the global population of, say, 60 years ago and compare that to today. Populating a region is a first come, first served deal. So the best spots got snatched up ages ago. As the population grows, people are forced to inhabit the less desirable areas...i.e. prone to flooding, prone to wildfires, prone to this or that Think about it. I am not excluding the possibility of some sort of weather phenomena and/or change in climate from being a factor, but it's certainly not the only factor. There are two possibilities here. One would be that you are unaware of the relentless deluges taking place all over the world. There has never been such widespread flooding since records started being kept 140 years ago. The second possibility is you're an ostrich. |

The entire earth is getting some of this. Where will your food be grown? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77840146 [link to www.bbc.com (secure)] On my back yard farm. Don't care about shitty people over --->> there. I care about my fam, my community, my state over --->> here /bad mood rant over In that case, you're a shortsighted idiot. There should be no reason to explain why, and it would be a waste of time anyway. Everyone gets it. |

GSMs can't be declared until well after they have happened, and certainly not in the beginning stages. What has happened here is that people have latched onto the term because they don't have anything better to ascribe the situation to. 2. GSMs are gradual. Our weather this year is anything but gradual and often appears without warning. GSM weather would be predictable. |

Im in the desert, south west, and its been the driest monsoon season since i been here...over 20 years... Sucks... Its been oddly cooler than normal as well hardly a day over 100 ... hope that dont mean a cold winter...i cannot STAND THE COLD! Massive rainfall in one part of the country is typically accompanied by drier weather in the other parts. So what you're experiencing - abnormally dry weather - is part of the same cloth. |
